How I organise my favourites

In response to this post on Lifehacker I thought I'd post how I organise my bookmarks.

I really only use Firefox at home and it is pretty easy to backup your bookmarks with that, so I don't really use anything else (although I'm beginning to dabble with social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us). I put my links within the following folders (sub folders as indicated) on Firefox:

Blogs
Bookmarks Toolbar Folder
Christian Resources
Firefox and Mozilla
Friends' Home Pages
Fun
Internet Resources
-- Charities
-- E-mail
-- Finance
Jobs
Live Bookmarks
Personal Home Pages
Podcasts
Quick Searches
Radio & Music
Search Engines
Shopping
-- Airlines
Social Bookmarks
Sports

Hmm, could probably do with being slighly more organised. Something to work on.

A busy week in

Just a quick post as I'm really busy this week. What's more I haven't been anywhere!

On Monday... I can't actually remember what I did on Monday. It seems like a long time ago (not kidding). I remember being up later than I planned to be though - I think Lorraine and I were assembling a list of possible questions for nurseries.

On Tuesday my in-laws were round, so my father-in-law and I found ourselves watching the Liverpool-Barcelona game (well worth it, very enjoyable) while Lorraine and her Mum bathed Chloe (n.b. Chloe wasn't in the bath for ninety minutes, although she would do if she had the choice as she's defintely a water baby). They stayed longer than we expected and then I had a bunch of forms to fill out. Another late one!

Last night Lorraine was out with Lucy for an Orange Wednesday at the cinema, so I was looking after Chloe for the evening. We were having a great time together along with Cookie, until eventually Chloe conked out as she finished her milk and fell asleep beside me on the sofa. With Chloe asleep I took advantage of Sky Sports' interactive coverage of the Champions League to flick between three games (Manchester United-Lille, Arsenal-PSV and A.C. Milan-Celtic). And there were still things to do when Lorraine got home - arrrrggghhhh!

Lorraine's working tonight so it's another evening with Chloe and getting very little done at home. My to-do list is getting longer, not shorter. I'm not particularly happy about it.
